“Art happens in the heart and in the mind and in the soul, not just the hand,” observes Douglas Fryer, and it is a philosophy that surfaces with stunning results in the artist’s landscapes. Filled with predominantly soft, graceful strokes, Fryer’s paintings have an atmospheric essence that filters into the viewer’s space, encapsulating that viewer in a fury of emotional experience.

Meyer Galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, will be showcasing Fryer’s newest paintings during “Beyond the Fences” December 8-14. The show features 23 works ranging in size and subject. To learn more, visit Meyer Galleries.
